Joe may be back down to one Vespa after selling his yellow scooter this week, but The Friday Nooner must go on. Fortunately the gang was joined by a great guest: Bernard Worthy, the CEO and Co-Founder of Durham-based fintech LoanWell, a 2022 GrepBeat Startups To Watch selection.

(Spoiler: he was decidedly non-committal on that last point.)
